KISSED AT CHRISTMAS

includes:

Christina McKnight’s Bound By the Christmastide Moon

Silas Anson has spent his life dealing with other people’s mistakes. Now, as the Earl of Lichfield, he has a plan that will protect his siblings, and give him a chance at a normal life. His arranged marriage to Mallory Hughes should be perfect—except for one thing: she sees visions of the future. When a man determined to free himself from the shackles of the past marries a woman with precognition, happiness in the present may be just a kiss under the Christmastide moon away.

Ava Stone’s Once Upon a Midnight Clear

Only a duke will do for Lady Ivy Dallimore. If her unhappily married sisters have taught her anything, it’s that love is fleeting but a title lasts forever, which is all well and good in theory until she finds herself falling for the scandalous third son of a marquess who is bound and determined to make his fortune in trade! Lord Michael Beck courts scandal, living life to the fullest and dabbling in games of chance. Unfortunately, he’s neither heir nor spare to his father’s title, and the time has come to enter a profession. Michael is no soldier, and he certainly isn’t cut out for the cloth, so he embarks on the most scandalous and risky venture of his life. He will need capital, however, and collecting a number of outstanding gambling debts at a Christmas Eve wedding at Castle Keyvnor seems like the perfect place to start, at least until he stumbles across the lady of his dreams. But what are the odds the practiced gambler can win the girl without losing everything he’s worked for?

Michelle Willingham’s The Sweetest Christmas

Lady Marjorie despises the idea of marriage. After being engaged to a man who tried to command every aspect of her life, from what she wore to what she ate, she refuses to consider matrimony again. Though she isn’t at all opposed to playing matchmaker for her cousin… Sir William Crandall is startled when Lady Marjorie believes he is a shy, withdrawn knight in need of a wife. He has nothing at all in common with her bluestocking cousin, but he is fascinated by the spirited Lady Marjorie. Despite her attempts at matchmaking, he intends to avoid marriage at all costs, after being abandoned at the altar. But a stolen kiss, a feast of gingerbread, and two unexpected friends find that there is magic in the Christmas holiday and a match that neither of them expected…

Bound By the Christmastide Moon by Christina McKnight

I received a copy from the author for an honest review.

I always love the books I get from Christina.  I love the world she builds so effortlessly. In this book, I loved the new twist she gives to our Lady Mallory.  It’s something new she added to one of her books.  She keeps true to her historical roots but adds a bit of fun to it along with mystery.

Silas has had quite a life.  His mother runs away with him and his siblings.  When he returns his father is dead and the family estate in ruins.  He should follow the plan of an estate squire to keep his family name out of the gossip of the Ton.  Silas is not thrilled but he will do what he must to keep his family safe.

Lady Mallory is traveling to meet her betrothed with her aunt in tow.  She was promised that if she doesn’t find the Lord to her liking she is free to walk away and be a spinster like her aunt forever.    However, sparks do seem to fly pin their initial meeting!!!

When Lady Mallory and Silas meet we see some chemistry but both are not sure of the other.  Silas worries what Mallory will say when she learned of his family.  Mallory decided to follow and then check in on Silas when she discovers he is not the most truthful of people.  Mallory’s extra gift plays a part in the story making us wonder what is going to happen.

I loved the story and look forward to more in the series.   The book was a great afternoon read on a super-hot day.  It gave me reason to just sit on my butt and enjoy the air conditioning!!  LOL

Hi! I’m twenty five years old and movie star gorgeous. The camera added thirty plus years and a few wrinkles. Can’t trust those cameras or mirrors either. Along with bathroom scales they are notorious liars! Honestly, I am the mother of three fantastic grown children who’ve made me laugh and given me more story ideas than I could ever write. My husband, Charles, is my strongest supporter and my best friend. He’s even willing to eat fast food and help with the laundry while I finish one more chapter! Life is good and I am blessed!

Reading has been a passion since I was five years old and figured out those were words on book pages. As soon as my chubby little fingers found they could put words on a Big Chief tablet with a fat pencil, I was on my way. Writing joined reading in my list of passions. I will read anything from the back of the Cheerio’s box to Faulkner and love every bit of it. In addition to reading I enjoy cooking, my family and the ocean. I love the Florida beaches. Listening to the ocean waves puts my writing brain into high gear.

I love writing romance because it’s about emotions and relationships. Human nature hasn’t changed a bit since Eve coveted the fruit in the Garden of Eden. Settings change. Plots change. Names change. Times change. But love is love and men and women have been falling in and out of it forever. Romance is about emotions: love, hate, anger, laughter… all of it. If I can make you laugh until your sides ache or grab a tissue then I’ve touched your emotions and accomplished what every writer sets out to do.

I got serious about writing when my third child was born and had her days and nights mixed up. I had to stay up all night anyway and it was very quiet so I invested in a spiral back notebook and sharpened a few pencils. The story that emerged has never sold but it’s brought in enough rejection slips to put the Redwood Forest on the endangered list. In 1997 Kensington bought two books for their Precious Gems line. Two years and six books later the line died with only four of those books seeing publication. But by then Avalon had bought a book and another, and another. Ten years later the list has grown to thirty nine. Last year Sourcebooks bought the Lucky Series which is in the bookstores now. They’ve also bought The Honky Tonk Series which will debut with I LOVE THIS BAR in June and will be followed by HELL, YEAH, MY GIVE A DAMN’S BUSTED, and HONKY TONK CHRISTMAS.

Folks ask me where I get my ideas. Three kids, fifteen grandchildren, two great grandchildren. Note: I was a very young grandmother! Life is a zoo around here when they all come home. In one Sunday afternoon there’s enough ideas to keep me writing for years and years. Seriously, ideas pop up at the craziest times. When one sinks its roots into my mind, I have no choice but to write the story. And while I’m writing the characters peek over my shoulder and make sure I’m telling it right and not exaggerating too much. Pesky little devils, they are!

I have a wonderful agent, Erin Niumata, who continues to work magic and sell my work. I’m very lucky to have her and my editors who continue to believe in me.

When you play with the Devil, you’re going to get burned.

When Sam Archer, bad boy rock star, decides to move out of the city and do some soul searching, the last thing he expects to find is his new neighbor Gracelyn Ward.  She’s everything he’s not—19 years old, religious, and an obedient child—but he finds himself falling for her anyway.

Gracelyn Ward has always had a crush on Sam—who hasn’t?  But she never thought he would be moving next door to her family and end up being so…likeable.  Sam is everything Gracelyn’s parents never wanted for her, not to mention that he’s over 30.  Despite her better judgment, it’s not long before she’s falling in love and beginning to question everything she’s ever held dear in her life.

When her parents give an ultimatum, Grace and Sam are torn between desire and obligation. Will they succumb to the fire or will they get scorched by the flames?

I received a copy from the author for an honest review.

Sweet Baby Jesus this book!!  I was blown away.  I am so used to Jade’s rocker books being so filled with Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll……you know the rock and roll life style but this book is so not that.  Yes, there is some of it in the beginning because we are seeing Sam and Debbie at the end of their relationship.  We have all seen it coming in Clay and Emily’s book but this book we see the final nail in the coffin.

Sam and Grace’s book is…gosh dare I say it…so sweet.  Yes, friends Jade wrote an angsty book and the love story between these characters is amazing. The love story is told so effortlessly.  I mean we are reading the story and SEEING the easy friendship turn into so much more over a simple task of making a pot of chili!!  Sam is 30 and Grace is 19 so what could they have in common right?  But as the story unfolds and we see all they have in common.  They are both the perfect fit for the other.  They both bring out the best in the other.  They both fall head over heels and it terrifies them like nothing else can or will.  Sam thinks he is so bad for her because of her good girl persona.  Grace thinking her inexperience is making her look like an idiot because no rock god would want to date her!

I loved Grace.  She is a young and innocent girl but she isn’t an idiot either.  She is strong in her convictions and she knows Sam is who she wants.  She also knows her parents will not be ok with her seeing the rocker next door and so she hides their romance much to Sam’s disapproval.

We see them both struggle with wanting to other person and we see them trying to figure out how to be with the other and make their partner happy in the same process. The ending chapters of the book FLEW.  There is so much happening but Sam……..Dreamy sigh………….yeah what he does to secure his girl to him forever……………….well let’s just say how can her parents not love him after that???

Now when can we see Brian get his HEA after his divorce????  I freaking still love him!!  Plus the name ya know 😊

Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado and has decided she likes it enough to stay forever. Jade’s day job is teaching Creative Writing, but teaching doesn’t stop her from doing a little writing herself.

Unfortunately, there’s no one genre that quite fits her writing. Her work has been labeled romance, erotica, suspense, and women’s fiction, and the latter is probably the safest and closest description. But you’ll see that her writing doesn’t quite fit any of those genres.

You’ll have to discover Jade’s writing for yourself to decide if you like it.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

This is a wonderful new series and a new world. Sarah Noffke did a fantastic job of keeping me firmly implanted in the story while bringing this new world and characters to life. The characters are pronominal the banter and quick whit they have between one another is entertaining.

Princess Azure finds that she is about to become Queen but on her coronation day her family secret is revealed in a BIG way.  This flips her world upside down and in side out. Now Azure has to go to Terran where the horrid humans live to make an alliance but to do this she has to travel through the forbidden Dark Forest.

The creatures Azure, rather Princess Azure, encounters in the Dark Forest are fascinating. Some are there to help, some to protect, and some need help. The journey Princess Azure travels is one of wonderment.

I have to say Sarah Noffke has Enchanted me with this new series. Be warned there is a cliffhanger here but I know Sarah will not keep us hanging for long. I am ready for the next book. I need to know what happens to Azure, her friends and the horrid humans.
